Question

Rufus collected 125 pounds of aluminium cans to recycle. He plans to collect an additional 50 pounds each week.

1. Write an equation for the total pounds, P, of aluminium cans after w weeks.
2. Graph this relationship (Please graph this realtionship on the picture below)

3. What does the slope and y-intercept represent?

Answer 1

1. P = 125 + 50w

2. I can't make a graph on your image, (since there are no increments) but the image attached is an image of a graph on desmos.

3. The y intercept represents the original 125 pounds of aluminum cans he starts with, and the slope represents the aluminum cans he collects.
